Self

I sing about it all the time
I scream my anger
I scream the exhaustion
I punch injustice
I stab the pain
And kick the shins

But thats the side to see
See the warrior
See the shell

I’m not okay
It actually hurts
I hate my reflection
I hate my soul

The face looking back
Is warped and hard
Drowning in the years
Of public decry
Shame weighs like anchors
Tied down by tears

But the side you see
See the strength
See the mask

I’m not okay
It actually hurts
I hate my reflection
I hate my soul

I don’t want you to know
I don’t want you to hear
I want to stand on the mountain
Hide the death and bones
Its not clear
I’m not here

I’m not okay
It actually hurts
I hate my reflection
I hate my soul
